Peas - Sugar Snap - Sugar Ann, (Pisum sativum)
Open Pollinated. Non GMO. 1979 AAS winner
70 days.

This All American Selection gold medal winner is the original Snap Pea. Six foot vines produce 3 inch round, fleshy pods that are edible from the flat stage to maturity. Common Wilt resistant. Excellent texture and flavor.

Traditional English peas have sweet, round, green peas inside a pod; you shell the peas and throw away the pod. Another type of pea is the snow pea, the crunchy, flat, sweet pod of Chinese cuisine that is eaten whole; the peas inside are not allowed to get big. However, one pea combines the sweet contents of English peas with the crispy outer pod, or shell, of snow peas. They are called snap peas, and you can eat the whole thing, pod and all, cooked or raw. To use them as snow peas, harvest really young (before pods fill out); to use them like English peas, let the peas inside get big and then shell them; to eat them as snap peas just crunch down on the whole thing at any stage of growth, and snap! The peas and the pod fill your mouth with a sweet crunch. Snap peas, also called edible podded peas, are the only pea one needs to grow because they are all in one.

For live plants, we can't send them to Alaska and Hawaii. If the order has already been placed, we will cancel it.

Happy Gardening!
